PROCESS OF COATING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 2, 1907.

Application filed G l B 9, 1906- Serial No. 342,746.

,To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORG KLOSE, a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of Diisseldorf, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Process of Coating, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to process for coating and more especially to a coating for metallic saber-sheaths, its object being to provide a coatingof this kind which will completely do away with the shining of the sabersheaths which is objectionable afield.

A further object of the invention is to provide a process ior providing saber sheaths with such a coating.

In carrying out this invention a layer .of ebonite,

celluloid or similar material is pressed on the conveniently prepared sheaths, it being possible to impress at the same time .on the coating arabesques, initials, emblems and the like. The pressing of the coating on the sheaths is, if necessary carried out while the coating material to be applied is conveniently heated. With a view of insuring a good and constant adherence to the metal sheath of the coating thus obtained, the latter is preferably provided with suitable recesses or bosses, The sheath can be provided with bored holes or can be cut like a file, or thin metal parts can be secured to the sheath by soldering or in another suitable manner. The sheaths provided with such a coating compared with the already used browned sheaths present the advantage of having a coating which is always without. brilliancy and the color whereof does not change. The sheaths provided with a cover according to the present invention are protected against rust and have a pleasing form which does not differ from that of an ordinary sheath and their outlines are not sensibly increased.

come off in splinters or to scale off as this would be the case if lacquer or enamel were made use of. A very considerable advantage of the coating according to the present invention resides in the fact that also the sabersheaths which are actually in use can be provided with such a coating.

Having now fully described my said invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A process for providing a metallic saber-sheath with a coating, this process consisting in roughening the surface of the saber-sheath which is intended to receive the coating, heatlngjhen, a thin layer of ebonite, celluloid or a similar material and pressing it on the saber-sheath substantially as and for the'purpose set forth.

2. A process for providing a metallic saber-sheath with a coating, this process consisting in first providing the surface of the saber-sheath which is intended to receive the coating with projections, recesses or perforations, heating afterwards a thin layer of ebonite, celluloid or a similar material and applying it under pressure to the saber-sheath, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.

. GEORG KLOSE.
